Wildfire season in Ottawa
Fires across Oklahoma, which Ottawa belongs to, come in two waves: fast-moving grass fires in late winter and spring before green-up, and again in late summer when the grass cures.

Higher temperatures, low humidity and wind make fires start and spread faster — check the fire-danger level before lighting any fire or working outdoors.

⚠️ The fires shown are automatic satellite heat detections from NASA FIRMS, augmented with official NIFC / WFIGS incidents where available. Satellite detections are not verified on the ground and are not 100% accurate — they can include false alarms (industrial heat, prescribed burns) or miss small or cloud-covered fires. Do not use this map for safety decisions; always follow official sources.
